    Pointers for Apartment Search

    Would anyone happen to know the best place to look up lease/move in specials for IAC apts or otherwise? I checked out rental-living and it looks like most apts do not have such move in specials, and some feel like gimmicks to sucker people in. Other places list rates but they said that...

    I have a friend who is currently underwater on an investment property in the riverside area. This property was mainly purchased to diversify an investment portfolio. With a 33% down payment, the idea is to have rent income offset the payments, with a goal of selling 5-8 years later. This...

    3225 Watermarke sold for $150k? How?

    Was doing some browsing, and saw this property on the sold list for $150k. Does anyone have a way to see if this property was bought by a bank or private party? $150k is not bad of a deal for a 1BR apartment knowing how much IAC 1BR's cost :) Wondering if I can snag up something like this...

    Low Interest rates wreaking havoc!

    For some reason, I don't see interest rate drops as helpful to the economy. Its true, the fed is helping to revitalize the housing market and prevent a crash, but imo, whats done has already been done, and the drops are going to delay the inevitable. Perhaps I'm narrow minded or ignorant, but i...

    Less market activity these days, and my current "score"

    <p>So I'm still in the passive search for a home, but lately it hasn't been a big priority of mine because I've set my backup plan in motion. As some may remember one of the reasons for my home search is to take tax deduction on planned income, and more importantly the predicted cash flow after...
